I’m from a family that never gives up on one another.

I’m from those youngling days where play time was everything to me.

Then boom! The day that changed my life forever.

I’m from that cold brisk winter day when I got hit by the car.

The smell of gasoline and car fumes so pronounce.

I’m from an invisible illness that cannot be seen or touch only felt.

But I’m from where impossible is not a word it’s just a reason not to try.

I’m from my bed where I spend most of my time in uncontrollable pain.

I’m from the sleepless nights with the buzzing in my ears from my headaches.

All the awful taste of medicine to ease the pain.

I’ll fight to find the light on this journey I am on.

I am from all the good and uphill battles I must face every day.

I’m from chronic pain that controls my life.

I am a fighter trying to make the most of life every day.
